While driving at any speed, the consumer heard a clanking noise coming from the steering wheel. When the noise was heard, it became very hard to steer the vehicle. The dealer examined the vehicle and determined that the steering pin box needed replacement. The consumer also had to have thirteen sets of tires replaced.
